Is it ok to wear a black dress to a wedding?

Or even a black outfit in general?

Although this used to be seen as a no go, in recent years wearing black to a wedding has become more and more popular.

Just ensure the wedding dress code doesn’t advise against black, if not then you’re good to go.

The key is how you style your black dress, try to mix and match your accessories and keep them complimentary.

Another option would be to add pattern to your black wedding outfit if not wanting to style a completely black dress.
